Quantum correlations and fluctuations
Claude Fabre, Salvatore Solimeno
This special issue offers a large selection of contributions dealing with recent advances in the theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum correlations and fluctuations. The issue results from a proposal to dedicate a special issue to the topics covered in the 6th International Conference on Squeezed States and Uncertainty Relations (ICSSUR '99) which took place in Naples, Italy on 24-29 May 1999. This proposal was received enthusiastically by the conference organisers, and the unexpectedly large number of contributions indicates the high level of interest in coherent effects in optics and related systems. The published papers encompass a wide range of topics: quantum measurements and noise, quantum interference and correlations, quantum communication and information, generation and characterization of non-classical states of light, squeezed states, and other quantum harmonic oscillators and quantum-like systems. With thanks to the Editor and the Editorial Office for all the work done, the guest editors express the hope that analogous thematic issues could appear in the near future.
